hats off to you Steve, that looks fantastic

I for one would not have the patience required to turn out something lke that. It must be very satisfying to no you've made something unique.

How long for the rest of the build?

Thank you, thank you all. Very kind words indeed. You may expect to see this car on your side of the pond. Martin Leigh of Praxis cars contacted me several months ago with the intention of importing La Bala to the UK. A RHD version is not difficult in the least. I already have a customer that wants one RHD here in the US.

Holly cow batman! It's nice to see something lustworthy come from this side of the pond to counter the plethora of offerings the brits have.

Very, very nice! You won't forget to say hello once in a while after you become a bigshot, will you?

Hot young girls will be a requirement! And not just for the car! hehehe. I also have access to any number of fighter aircraft and the tarmac at the local airport. I know a lot of those guys. My sis just gave me a book on Automotive Photography and I am going to try out some of the techniques when the time is right.

I have been following this project since I saw it in Grassroots Motorspot. While I think the CAD concepts looked really good, the end result looks GREAT! Kudos!!! All the hard work and persistence is paying off.

Tell you what, I really REALLY appreciate the response I get from this forum. Of all the places that I post, you guys really GET what it is that I am doing. So a big THANKS to you all for helping me stay motivated and focused on the product. It really is turning out pretty nice. I am quite happy.

Still a LOT of work to be done though... Maybe another years worth? Been at it for 3 so far!

Certainly, I can't recall the name just this minute, but I'll get the name, author and isbn# for you the next time I am home... (not very often these days)
